SMART CONCRETE®

TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED CONCRETE THAT AUTOMATICALLY RESPONDS TO ITS ENVIRONMENT

KRYTON INTERNATIONAL

For 45 years, Kryton has been developing technologies for improving the durability of concrete structures. In the 1970’s, Kryton pioneered its “Krystol” technology, which turns normally porous concrete into watertight concrete. Concrete is able to protect itself against water intrusion by filling its capillary pores with millions of microscopic, needle-shaped crystals. In 1980, Kryton invented the world’s first crystalline waterproofing admixture. Employing the same Krystol technology, surface-applied coatings and membranes are eliminated as Krystol turns the concrete itself into a waterproof membrane. Just as importantly, Krystol treated concrete has the unique ability to respond to moisture entering through newly formed cracks by growing more crystals to shut off the water. This “self-sealing” ability was a critical advancement in concrete performance. Over the past four decades, this technology has revolutionized the way concrete structures are built all around the globe.

More recently, Kryton has introduced a highly specialized admixture that gives concrete up to six times greater resistance to abrasion or erosion. Kryton’s “Hard-Cem” technology is ideal for industrial floors, roadways, hydro spillways and many other applications in transportation, agriculture, power generation and marine structures. Hard-Cem overcomes the performance issues, practical constraints and safety concerns of existing hardening strategies while actually costing much less.

Concrete has always been a durable material to build with. Concrete structures have proven this through the test of time but today we look at our aging infrastructure and ask if we can build things even better. The answer is yes – using Kryton’s Smart Concrete technologies.

Using Kryton technologies, Smart Concrete will respond to its environment to protect itself against corrosion, erosion, abrasion and water penetration. SMART CONCRETE will last many times longer than regular concrete – even in the harshest conditions.

THE MOST EFFECTIVE INTEGRAL CONCRETE WATERPROOFING AND DURABILITY SOLUTIONS

KRYTON SOLUTIONS GUIDE 3

Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture used to create permanently waterproof concrete.

KIM lowers the permeability of concrete and is used in place of externally applied waterproofing membranes. By stopping the transmission of water through concrete, KIM adds durability and longevity to concrete by protecting it against chemical attack and corrosion of reinforcing steel.

How It WorksKIM contains Krystol technology. When added to concrete, Krystol chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals. These crystals fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete which block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.

Product Benefits• Permanent and reliable hydrostatic waterproofing solution• Shortens construction schedules• Reduces initial and long-term waterproofing costs• Self-seals micro-cracks for the life of the concrete• Increases longevity of reinforced concrete• NSF 61-certified for potable water applications

Packaging Mixer-ready bags in custom sizes to match your mix design

25 kg (55 lbs) resealable pails

KIM is used to integrally waterproof and increase the durability of concrete subject to water exposure and hydrostatic pressure:

• Below grade parking • Basements• Sewage plants• Swimming pools

• Dams• Foundation walls• Footings• Slabs

• Pits• Water containment tanks• Canals

HARD-CEM®

Hard-Cem is an Integral Hardening Admixture used to increase the abrasion and erosion resistance of concrete.

Hard-Cem is added to concrete at the time of batching to increase hardness and expand wear life. It outperforms and overcomes deficiencies of labor-intensive surface-applied hardeners. It also enhances the durability of both air-entrained and non-air-entrained concrete. Since it is integral, Hard-Cem can be used to harden horizontal, vertical or inclined concrete and shotcrete surfaces.

How It WorksWhen added to concrete, Hard-Cem’s proprietary technology increases the hardness of the concrete paste and reduces fine and coarse aggregate exposure that causes degradation to concrete surfaces. Since it is integral, it continues to offer surface wear resistance throughout its life. By increasing the abrasive-erosive service life of concrete, maintenance costs are reduced and replacement of the concrete is substantially deferred.

Product Benefits• Extends concrete wear life up to 6 times under harsh conditions• Improves worksite safety and conditions (dust-free)*• Only hardener that can be used on air-entrained concrete• Expedites construction schedules*• Lowers installed cost*• Reduces maintenance costs and improves concrete sustainability• No side effects on concrete water demand, workability, set time, strength development

or shrinkage• Full-depth concrete hardening*• Can be used in horizontal, vertical or inclined concrete• Improved quality control*

*compared to surface-applied (dry-shake) hardeners

Packaging Available in 20 kg (44 lb.) mixer ready bags, 1,600 kg (3,527 lb.) super bags and bulk pneumatic tankers.

Hard-Cem provides superior value and performance that surpasses traditional surface-applied hardeners.

It offers best-in-class abrasion and erosion resistance, while removing risks associated with installation. Installation limitations such as the numerous steps, waiting for weather, working with mix designs containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials or air-entrained concrete and getting consistent coverage/dosage is a thing of the past. Hard-Cem avoids job-site wide exposure to harmful dust because it is added directly to the concrete mix. It goes where traditional dry-shake hardeners cannot: shotcrete, vertical cast-in-place, precast concrete and vertical concrete.

Since 2004, Hard-Cem has increased the durability on more than 5.6 million m2 (60 million ft2) of concrete.

HARD-CEM VS SURFACE-APPLIED HARDENERS

Hard-Cem offers consistent and reliable performance increasing surface wear life, exceeding that offered by traditional surface-applied methods.

• Consistent dosage guarantees expected performance and removes quality control concerns

• Saves concrete finishers a number of steps, and results in improved finishing and flatter floors

• Provides full-depth concrete hardening as opposed to just a surface layer

• Removes health hazards related to installation dust exposure

Unlike surface-applied hardeners, Hard-Cem is not limited to horizontal surfaces, non-air entrained concrete or concrete containing fly ash. It can be used in any concrete mix design including shotcrete and precast. It can be applied anywhere abrasion and erosion is a concern.

• Only hardener that can be used with air-entrained concrete

• Can be used in horizontal, vertical or inclined concrete• Fully compatible with Supplementary Cementitious

Materials (SCMs) such as fly ash• No negative side effects on plastic or hardened

concrete

Hard-Cem is added to concrete and unlike surface-applied products, requires no additional installation other than typical concrete finishing.

• Speeds up installation and does not require special labor or extra steps to install

• Removes weather-related constraints that affect scheduling

• Can install more concrete

Hard-Cem extends the life of concrete and reduces repair and maintenance costs more than surface-applied hardeners.

• Better cost to performance value than surface-applied hardening products

• Saves time allowing for a faster construction schedule

Krystol T1 Concrete waterproofing is used to integrally waterproof and add durability to newly placed as well as existing concrete of any age:

Bharat Oman Refinery, Bina, India Atlantis Hotel, Dubai, UAE Futang Tunnel/Ying Wen Highway, Sichuan, China

Krystol T1 is a surface applied crystalline slurry treatment that transforms new or existing concrete into a permanent waterproof barrier.

Krystol T1 lowers the permeability of concrete to protect against the ingress of water and waterborne chemicals. Since it becomes integral to the concrete, it can be applied to either the positive (wet) or negative (dry) side of water pressure which allows reliable hydrostatic waterproofing protection and remediation for even the most difficult applications.

How It Works

Krystol T1 contains Krystol technology. When applied to concrete, Krystol chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.

Product Benefits• Effective against high hydrostatic pressure; tested up to 140 m (460 ft) of head pressure• Reliably self-seals hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) • Repair from the positive or negative side of water pressure• Fixes membrane failures without excavation• Safe for contact with potable water, certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 61• Available in Grey or White

KRYTON’S CRACK INDUCING WATERSTOP

Kryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop is specially engineered to produce a waterproof crack control joint.

Used as part of the Krystol Waterstop System and in conjunction with Krystol Waterstop Grout, Kryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop is resistant to waterborne chemicals and is perfect for blindside applications where access is limited. It is placed in a predetermined location to isolate cracking to a controlled area in order to eliminate water entry through uncontrolled shrinkage cracking.

How It WorksKryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop is fastened to the concrete form or shoring wall. A keyway is measured and formed directly opposite the waterstop. After the concrete is placed, a controlled crack develops from the Crack Inducing Waterstop through to the keyway. Krystol Waterstop Grout is then tightly packed in the keyway for added protection.

Product Benefits• Accurate placement of control joints• Extremely durable• Control concrete cracks; decreasing maintenance costs

KRYTONITE™ SWELLING WATERSTOPKrytonite Swelling Waterstop is a synthetic rubber waterstop that uses swelling pressure to seal concrete construction joints and stop water.

The Krystol Leak Repair System is a permanent crystalline waterproofing solution used for repairing leaking cracks, holes and joints found in concrete. It reliably stops high water flow, even under high-hydrostatic pressure, and outperforms injection systems. Repairing leaks is a simple process that involves preparing a chase by chiseling into the concrete, stopping flowing water with Krystol Plug, and then filling the chase flush to the surface with Krystol Repair Grout.

After completing the leak repair, the Krystol T1 Waterproofing System will protect the entire structure against the continued ingress of water and further concrete deterioration, as well as reduce the likelihood of further leaks developing in the structure.

How It WorksThe Krystol Leak Repair System and Krystol T1 Waterproofing System contain Krystol technology. When applied to concrete, Krystol chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals. These crystals fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete which block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.

Product Benefits• Reduces call-backs• Effective repair from the positive or negative side• More reliable than injection systems• Permanent leak repair solution• Simple and easy installation

CONCRETE REPAIR WITH THE KRYSTOL LEAK REPAIR SYSTEM

At best, concrete cracks are just an unattractive nuisance. At worst, they cause leaks that can damage the interior of the building, corrode steel reinforcements and ultimately shorten the life of the concrete structure.

Kryton’s Krystol Concrete Waterproofing System is the best way to repair leaking cracks and create durable, waterproof structures.

“For a long time, the basement of these two buildings would flood with up to a foot of water, especially at high tide. About 6 months ago, the elevator pits, storage room, boiler room and compacting room were all waterproofed using the Kryton Krystol waterproofing system, ...”

“For the first time, we have a substantially dry basement area, and the results have been excellent. I would recommend these products.”

- George Dambakly, Manhattan Apartments, New York City, USA
